THE UTILITY OF THE FUTURE -A YEAR ROUND CAMPAIGN…

Between the end of the 2019 show and the 2020 event, we will run a year-long Utility of the Future campaign, in partnership with our sister brands – Utility Week, Network and Water and Wastewater Treatment (WWT) – which will tackle the difficult questions about achieving the sector’s vision for the future.

This campaign aims to mobilise the sector on the road towards an end game for transition by creating a hub for knowledge, research and expert opinion on the challenges involved.Using the multiple platforms and unique combined reach of our market-leading brands, we will produce articles, webinars, podcasts, surveys, events and more to create engagement, excitement and confidence. All of this will culminate at the 2020 show where we will bring the campaign to life and connect visitors with the technologies and solutions utilities need to engineer the digital future.

The Utility of the Future campaign will focus on five big topic series which will be delivered throughout 2019 and the early months of 2020. The series will cover:

Climate Change / Customers / Regulation / Technology / Skills & workforce

Opportunities to participate actively as a campaign partner are available. By aligning yourself with Utility Week Live 2020, you will immediately align yourself with this ambitious campaign and all the thought leadership, ideas stimulation and industry insight it entails.
